Despite having the plug-ins enabled and APIs installed, this is how autocomplete is currently behaving. One screenshot shows that functions from other modules are showing up when they shouldn’t, and as cut_for_search is not present we also see that the functions from the jieba module are not showing up.

This doesn’t seem like desired behavior at all so really appreciate any help getting to the bottom of this.

Alex.

Hi,

that seems to be correct. The eric assistant will use the same installed API
files (see APIs config page). Additionally, it will extract APIs from a
project once you open it. The rope plug-in determines completions and calltips
dynamically for the opened project. The jedi plug-in should do this for random
files (Tobias knows better on this).
